Okay, Amazon’s Prime Day has arrived! I know, I know…it’s overwhelming isn’t it? It’s kind of helpful when bloggers, like me, post a “What to buy” post, but also kind of annoying. I get it 😉 So instead…I’m going to share with you some of my favorite search terms! Of course, these will be different depending on your personal favorite brands and items, or if you’re looking for something specific. But if you’re just searching for the best RELEVANT deals, this list will definitely help you narrow it down!

Design Dilemma | Sarah Eisler Great Room

Last month I started this new blog/YouTube series with Coby O’Sullivan’s sitting room, and this month I took on Sarah Eisler‘s great room! I’ve followed Sarah on Instagram for awhile now, being a equestrian lover and her being in the horse world. So when I saw her design dilemma submission come through, I knew I wanted to help a fellow horse-lover out 🙂 Sarah moved into her new home not too long ago and needed some help with her combined living and dining room. AND she needed it all on a pretty tight budget…for around $3,000. So I put together a design for her that covers the main pieces that she’ll need to outfit the space and she can fill it all in with accessories as needed. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Here is Sarah’s before picture of the room. This is the sale listing photo, so not her furniture. She’s also painted it Sherwin Williams Tree Swallow and Requisite Grey.

And the inspiration images that Sarah gave me were all client work that I did in the past! You can check them out here: Naomi’s living room, Julie’s dining room, Dani’s living/dining room and Anne’s dining room.

Home Trends | Faux Foliage

My favorite faux plants and greenery from World Market | faux greens look great in your home without need a green thumb | copycatchic luxe living for less — This post is in partnership with **World Market** and contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you make a purchase after clicking on a link.

I’m all over ways of making life easier (and better!). I went through a crazy plant buying spree a couple of months ago and it was amazing. BUT can I just tell you how much upkeep it all is? Watering, dusting, feeding, re-potting. Not to mention the infestation of gnats I got from a palm I bought. Yikes. So lately, I’ve been staring longingly at faux plants and greenery. Faux greens are such a controversial subject in the home design world. What do you guys think? Are you for? Or against? Personally? I like a good mix of both. In the past I’ve been solidly against fake plants, but there’s a new crop of great faux greens on the market and it makes ALL the difference. I found a few favorites over at World Market, so I thought it would be the perfect time to work in a Home Trends post for you all!

A day of design in Chicago with Delta Faucet, She She, Copy Cat Chic and Young House Love | Inspiration tour and design challenge

A couple of weeks ago I took a little trip to Chicago. Most of you probably followed along on my Instagram. The reason? A Day of Design with Delta and John and Sherry from Young House Love. Such a great concept, right? The plan? An architectural tour around Chicago to gather up inspiration for a design board we were to create using Delta and She She products. I love me some good inspiration AND a good design challenge! Sign me up.
